Rift & Quartered lumber results from a unique way of sawing that maximizes the yield of lumber with vertical grain. Lumber that has been sawn using this method expands evenly and vertically, which also increases the structural integrity of the wood. We currently produce 125,000 board feet of lumber per shift and maintain stocks at three West Coast warehouses: Long Beach, CA, San Francisco, CA, and Tacoma, WA. This allows us to service the just in time inventory level that specialty millwork houses and distribution yards demand in today s economic climate. Graf Brothers main lumber headquarters and main sales office is a 70-acre site in South Shore, KY. In addition to the main sawmill, Graf Brothers is supplied by two of its other sawmills located in Otway, Ohio, and Henley, Ohio. Our sawmills have regularly produced precision-cut Quarter Sawn boards up to 24 wide and Plain Sawn boards up to 32 wide. These board widths are unheard of in the industry, but we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of the lumber industries. LUMBER

WALNUT SOFT MAPLE CHERRY POPLAR SPECIES CHERRY POPLAR SOFT MAPLE SYCAMORE WALNUT THICK NESS Heartwood can range from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with darker brown streaks. Color can sometimes have a grey, purple, or reddish cast. Sapwood is pale yellow-gray to nearly white. Figured grain patterns such as curl, crotch, and burl are also seen.

Sapwood color ranges from almost white, to a light golden or reddish brown, while the heartwood is a darker reddish brown. Silver Maple can also be seen with curly or quilted grain patterns. Heartwood is a light pinkish red when freshly cut, darkening to a deeper golden red with time and upon exposure to light. Sapwood is a pale yellowish color. Heartwood is light cream to yellowish brown, with occasional streaks of gray or green. Sapwood is pale yellow to white, not always clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Can also be seen in mineral stained colors ranging from dark purple to red, green, or yellow. 2 1/4 W IDTHS MINIMUM 13 MAXIMUM 36 LENGTHS 6-12 14-16
